priorities and former chief economist to vice president joe biden. jared, thanks for coming on the program. you know, as i just mentioned there, there are a lot of people who have different views on timothy geithner. some people say he was too easy on wall street. he wasn't tough enough on the banks. when the history book books are written, what do you think they're going to say about timothy geithner? >> well, look, it's often the case when you have people attacking from the left and right that you may have found a sweet spot in the middle. and i think the story is kind of one that's in the middle. i think when the history books are written, they're going to look at the measures that secretary geithner preside over as critical to inflating the financial sector when it was really poised to take down not just our economy but global economies. if you actually look at the money expended to do so it came in far, far less than originally projected. geithner managed to replate the system on the cheap. the housing market is now finally crawling off the bottom. but it's getting better. but it took

of the gun lobby. vice-president joe biden dispatched to virginia today where he went to the virginia tech campus to try to rally support for the administration's proposals. perhaps more significant, chicago's mayor, former chief of staff to president obama, rahm emanuel is now trying to pressure private banks into not doing business with gun manufacturers. he wants them to cut off credit lines to firearm companies that don't get on board with president obama's gun control measures. chris stirewalt is our fox news digital editor, on power play.com. let's start with mayor emanuel. wow, what right does he, as a public official, he's not a private citizen, but as a public official try to go in and strong arm private banks into not doing business with law-abiding american companies with whose agenda mr. emanuel just happens to disagree? >> well, look, from the point of view of those folks who are interested in pushing a gun ban, what wouldn't you do to save a life, if guns are the cause of the problem and are killing people, what wouldn't you do to save a life? and if that includes arm twistin

, not the gun sellers and that's being missed in this debate. >> jennifer: it is, but i know joe biden was out having a fireside google hang out trying to persuade, and i'm glad the administration is taking the case on the road. karl frisch, professor jason johnson thank you for joining me inside "the war room." >> thank you. >> thanks, governor. >> jennifer: you bet. in the 41 days since the tragedy at newtown, 41 days now, at least 1121 americans have died due to gun violence. of course, those who die are just a fraction of the victims of gun violence. 13-year-old gabriel clark of massachusetts is still recovering after being shot last friday. it's tragic that something so horrific could happen to someone so young but the circumstances are even worse. gabriel was walking to his church to attend choir practice when a car drove past him. someone from the car shot him in the stomach. the pastor said that gabriel told him even through the >> jennifer: you know that every two minutes someone in the united states is sexual assaulted? the great majority of those attacks are on women. women like deb

.c. the last couple of weeks. we add the fiscal cliff, the debt ceiling, the joe biden gun- control panel. we have allowed these to take center stage. we are falling into a sideshow trap. all these debates are about government. government is government power or the leading lady or leading man in our country today agreed to -- today's conservatism is wrapped up in solving the city's mass that is the federal budget, the burgeoning deficits, the mammoth federal debt, the shortfall in our entitlement programs. we seem to have an obsession. this is the long game for us to apply. today it is the fiscal cliff and to market will be the fiscal -- and tomorrow it will be the fiscal armageddon. our government has already gone off the fiscal cliff. it happened years ago and it happens every year for many years. today's conservatism is in love with zero. we think if we can unite behind a proposal to cut the debt and put together a spreadsheet and power point and a tv ad, call will be well. this obsession with zeroes is focused on government. by doing this, we sent a not so subtle signal that the focus of

: but pushing gun control is now a white house campaign style effort. and vice president joe biden held a social media town hall, a google hangout to rally support. >> make your voices heard. this outfit, this town listens when people rise up and speak. >> reporter: the white house and feinstein know their biggest hurdle is convincing skeptical fellow democrats from gun right states to support gun control. >> the message to democrats is see what your silence does? there will be more of these. >> dana bash joins me now. you have been talking to red state democrats including some with gun and nra support in the past. have any told you they'll support this legislation? >> not one, anderson. the dynamic is there are more than half a dozen democrats from the red states up for re-election next year, and they really feel that this is something they don't want to touch with a ten-foot pole. more broadly, there are about a dozen conservative democrats or at least democrats from conservative states who also just are highly skeptical of the idea of supporting this. and if you look at what the nra said toda

. this is "the daily rundown." i'm luke russert in for mr. chuck todd. vice president joe biden is taking the white house campaign to end violence into virginia this morning, a state known for its pro-gun tradition. biden will hold a roundtable discussion in richmond, with experts who worked on gun safety after the 2007 shooting at virginia tech. virginia's history of protecting pro gun rights legislation has been sustained under both democratic and republican governors. but state lawmakers have been debating a bill that would require private sellers to conduct criminal background checks on buyers at gun shows. and an online google plus hangout sponsored by the white house on thursday, biden tried to emphasize background check legislation while downplaying the importance of a new assault weapons ban. >> more people out there get shot with a glock, that has a -- that has cartridges that you can have magazines that can put 2, 8, 10, 12, 15, 30 shells in it than any assault weapon that you can see. i'm much less concerned, frankly, about what you call an assault weapon than i am about magazi

, i agree with joe biden. i don't understand why you can't use a regular rifle, a regular pistol or regular handgun to defend yourself. why do you need these mass killing machines? >> here is the thing, piers, the fact this is the most popular rifle in the united states. there's 3 million people, as you know well, who own these. and they are quote/unquote, called assault weapons, however, the vast majority of law-abiding citizens who own them do not consider them for the purpose of assault but rather hunting. >> no one uses it for hunting. every hunting told me if you can't get them down in three shots, you're not a hunter, and if you hit them with 100 shots, you have destroyed the animal. that's not hunting. >> let me make the point really fast. ar-15s in virginia are actually not allowed to be used to hunt deer because they don't get the job done. >> right. >> they don't essentially kill deer right away. >> the only animal is a rabbit in virginia with an ar-15. >> do you ladies agree with automatic weapons being banned? >> that's not the issue at hand right now because they are
